Twirling, always twirling toward the future

I had an awesome lesson yesterday. I saw Steff and my last post was indeed a lie. I still don't have the triple weave down: I learned the double weave and got it quite pretty. A triple weave has a time displacement: one arm makes two rotations while the other makes only one. Then they both make one (I think) and then the same thing happens on the other side. Needs work, but I'm nevertheless getting closer. Ideally we'll practice at length on Thursday, possibly with fire.

But I did rather well at teh acrobatics class. Top of the list: I did some correct frontflips on the trampoline! Sure, I only managed to land 1 in 20 correctly, but it's still an improvement! I still need to bend my spine better, as my forward walkovers are as pathetic as ever - made even more frustrating by the fact that I can do them from a headstand position as opposed to a handstand position.

Lastly, I did really well in the roda. I'm starting to be known as a fun guy to play against because I don't mind minor injuries and welcome the occasional flashy move. As I got to bed last night, I was amused that I've sort of accepted my fate as someone who invites injury weekly. When I first started, I would have considered such soreness or bruising as issue. Now I sleep off some sort of injury every week, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Time for class now, not that I actually have the willpower to pay attention. I'm really looking forward to this evening after dinner when I can actually relax for more than an hour.

Ooo! Madison Red Dwarf fans: I'm preparing something for my next visit. I can't say what it is right now, but I'm going to be a complete and total crypto-fascist. In a good way.
